In an ideal world, Id use this blue instant against a Thoughtseize, but I dont think this blue card has seen tons of play, as there are better options overall if youre looking for this kind of effect
Very literally "better" Mulldrifter, which is already a great card, and not even "broken", which I wish more of these cards were a bit more like this
This deck could work really well by utilizing swords to give Tetsuo protection and evasion, and Whispersilk Cloak would also be great in this deck
One thing to note about Volo, Itinerant Scholar (aside from all those creature types) is that it has an ability called "choose a Background." Choose a Background is a very specific version of the partner ability, which can allow a player to have more than one commander
This list focuses on a mix of Constructed and Commander viability, thought dragons are bound to show up no matter what format you're playing
Not only that, but this green creature has marginal upside as a 2-drop that ramps and also forages, working well with graveyard/food strategies or cards like Corpseberry Cultivator
